Old St Andrew's Church, Bishopthorpe

Old St Andrew's Church is a ruined building in Bishopthorpe, a village south of York in England.

By 1768, it was in very poor condition, and was demolished on the orders of Robert Hay Drummond, with only its foundations retained.

He commissioned Thomas Atkinson to design a new church, which was largely built of brick, and retained the cruciform plan.

Its windows were relocated from the chapel at Cawood Castle, and their glass was designed by William Wailes.

[1][2] In 1842, Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt paid £2,000 to replace the roof and floor, add a south vestry, and porches to each transept.
